The parking disc is a traffic sign used in Germany to indicate where parking is permitted for a limited time. It typically shows a blue background with a white "P" symbol and may have a time limit displayed.

When parking in an area marked by this sign, drivers are required to set a parking disc to indicate their arrival time. The disc should show the time at which the vehicle was parked and must be displayed in a visible position on the dashboard of the vehicle. The maximum duration of parking allowed is usually indicated on the sign itself, commonly set for 1 or 2 hours.

Failing to display the parking disc or exceeding the designated parking time can result in a fine. It’s important to read any additional information on the sign, as certain areas may have restrictions or different rules.
